New Report: Addressing the Workforce Skills Gap in Construction and CRE-related Trades

The NAIOP Research Foundation has published a new report titled "Addressing the Workforce Skills Gap in Construction and CRE-related Trades," by Barry E. Stern, Ph.D.

A shortage of construction and logistics workers has increased the cost of construction for developers and hampered the expansion and profitability of warehouse and distribution centers. The NAIOP Research Foundation commissioned this report to explore some of the contributing factors to the workforce shortage and how the construction and logistics industries can improve worker recruitment, training, productivity and retention.

Key Takeaways:

  • Contractors will increasingly need to adopt new technologies to improve worker productivity.
  • The most successful workforce development programs rely on multisector collaboration.
  • It is important to align workforce development programs with local trends.
  • Demonstrating that a job can be part of a long-term career is important to recruitment and retention in the logistics and construction industries.
  • The construction and logistics industries need to invest in training and recruiting high school students and recent graduates.
  • Investing in ongoing training for current employees ensures that workers have the latest skills and improves worker recruitment and retention.
